Ericka S.

I've been buying sourdough bread loaves from supermarkets, but always remember the higher quality sourdough from Artisana. What I like about this sourdough is it tends to be softer and made with higher quality organic flour and ingredients. I called ahead to inquire if the loaf could be sliced, and when I arrived at the Artisana shop, the attendant discussed different types of sourdough bread, like the pain de campagne variety. I am curious about trying the olives and rosemary sourdough next. Service here was really good here and it was easy to find a parking space. Highly recommended for fellow sourdough lovers. 5/5

I can't believe this has been so close to my house for years and I never saw it! We got a baguette and it was absolutely amazing. Also had a peach pastry that was very tasty.

You guys I am OBSESSED! I almost don't want to post a review. But I did, because I am not a gate keeper. The sourdough, doesn't have preservatives, but I swear I will eat this bread with no butter and not even toasted. Am I crazy? Yea I am over this bread YO! The puff pastries were really puffin! Like the CRONCH. I am excited to come back to try more stuff!!

Swedish cardamom bun
Gene L.

.: 2/24/2024 Edit :. After writing this review, I received a message from the business that they will be bringing back the cardamom buns on Friday and Saturday this spring! Everyone go out and support them! ______________________________________ It pains me deeply to write this review, but I am still giving Artisana 5 stars - if by some remote chance someone associated with the business reads these Yelp reviews: BRING BACK THE CARDAMOM BUNS - PLEASE!! I had been craving Swedish cardamom buns (kardemummabullar) ever since returning from a trip to Stockholm. It was a struggle to find these in Houston, until I found Artisana - they used to sell them on weekends at the store and the Urban Harvest Farmer's Market. They were delicious! I was so ecstatic to find a place to get my fix. You can imagine my disappointment when they informed me they were going to stop selling them. I really didn't get an explanation, seemed odd in that they seemed to always be sold out of them :( Part of me is hopeful they will reverse course in the future. In the meantime, if anyone knows where I can find cardamom buns in Houston, DM me! Regardless, their baguettes are excellent - I would put them #2 (second only to Magnol, who is the reigning champ in HTX in my opinion). Pleeeeese bring back the kardemummabullar!

Cross-section of Blueberry Almond Bostock

Came in the other day to pick up a bag and some bread. Parking is easy as there's a lot in front along with a few dedicated spots. It's fairly small, so I would imagine that it could get crowded on a more busy day. There is a wide variety of delicious-looking pastries and breads available to buy all on display on the counter. It also smells really nice inside because of all of the fresh-baked goods. The people behind the counter were professional, kind, and gave us recommendations to try. After the bag pick-up we got the Blueberry Almond Bostock and a loaf of plain sourdough bread. The pastries are delicious. The bread is a bit more on the sour side (in a good way) and the crust is excellent. We got a Cinnamon Roll, a Salted Honey Pistachio Cookie, and a Ham and Cheese Croissant. I highly recommend the cookie and the bostock. The cookie was probably our favorite - it has a very similar taste to a Turkish dessert called kalburabastı or perhaps şekerpare, with the cookie being drenched honey syrup and the delicious chopped pistachio throughout. Also like these desserts, it is very dense and best enjoyed in small pieces at a time to truly savor. I believe there may have also been white chocolate in the cookie as well. Whatever the case, it was delicious. Would definitely come back another day to try more items.

Artisana Bread brick and mortar location (they need more!)
Emily B.

I am blown away by the quality and ingredients in their products. I discovered their bread at a farmers market and have become addicted. Let me put it this way, if you want to eat bread like a skinny European, buy your bread here. There are NO chemicals of any kind in their breads. I can eat slice after slice of the sourdough and have no bloat or indigestion. I believe in this business so much and have yet to find another bread in town with such freshness. If you're a bread lover but your tummy isn't, try this place out and have a ball. The staff is so friendly and put health, quality, and freshness into every loaf!

Pain au chocolat croissant (halved)
Michelle O.

The pain au chocolat croissant ( pastry filled with chocolate) was $5 and had an amazingly flaky and crunchy exterior. Each bite gave a satisfying crunch. The inside had the usual amount of chocolate. The pain de campagne bread (organic sourdough) isn't as tangy as other sourdoughs. It's a big loaf for $8.50. I had it sliced at the store.

As part of the Post Oak Hotel, you can access this place from both inside and outside entrance…read more This place is super cute and seems to have a fair amount of people who come here to work or place an order from an good assortment of pastries and gelato's. What's nudged this place up to 5 stars for me is they have really improved their coffee game, specifically their quality of cappuccino's. Previously it seemed more of latte, but now to me its a legit Capp. Their choice of pastries hasn't changed, which gives you a good assortment of choices and they have added an additional barista or server which also is a nice touch for service. The only niggling items, parking can be tough, so you'll have to either walk a block or be quick to find a place close by. Regardless, definitely give this place a go to come for a pastry and coffee.

Inside you will also find French pastries, coffees and teas, gelato, milkshakes, sandwiches and macaroons. I felt the most interesting items were the French pastries as they are cute and tasty as well. Also, they plate the pastries nicely when you dine in as an added bonus. I tried the Chocolate Royale and the Ruby. Chocolate Royale - a petit chocolate mouse slice with flat chocolate panels along the sides. It is delicate and tasty. If you're a chocolate lover, this is definitely up your alley. Ruby - visually this looks like a strawberry Hershey kiss, with red powder on the exterior and a top piece of foil to resemble foil on the wrapper of a hershey kiss. Inside, it's filled with a strawberry cream and has a chocolate base. I just wish there was more chocolate in this one. They have plenty of seating inside as well as along the sidewalk. Inside you have the more fancy tables, whereas outside, they're more weather resistant and not as upscale in appearance. The soft drinks to drink along with your sweets are in a cold case along the hotel side of the space and you just take them to the register as you order. One of the most surprising things when you come here are the relatively affordable prices as you might expect them to be more for being a coffee shop attached to a 5-star hotel with a helipad.

We finally came around to checking it out and OMG YES. It absolutely is worth the hype. As a lover of egg tarts and someone who is also very particular about it - these have won my heart! I also heard great things about the mango mochi so we couldn't leave without those. Thankfully they still had some in stock. I heard they sell out quickly especially on weekends. Those also lived up to its hype. SO YUMMY! Tastes so fresh including the mangoes. My kiddo who LOVES mango anything loved them so much! My husband also got 2 savory pastries (I forgot what they were called and I forgot to take a picture) and those were yummy too. Perfectly flakey crust just like the egg tarts. We wanted to get sesame balls but they were sold out. Customer service was great. The guy that took our order was very nice. It was pretty busy but he moved through the line quickly. There's some seating inside if you want to eat there. Prices are very reasonable at $2 each for the mochi and egg tarts. The savory pastries were $3. It's located in a shared lot/area. Parking can be tight and limited on a busy weekend day but they have parking right out front for the Eck bakery customers. Also note that if you pay with card it's a 2.5% charge so cash is better if you have it. We didn't but we know now for future. We had a great experience here and will definitely be back. Next time we'll come earlier and get a bigger order and try their other offerings.

Cash only but service was quick and while they are prompt, they do not rush you to decide whether you want one or a dozen egg tarts :) Parking was right off the street but plenty of parking when we went. I hear it does get really busy around special occasions/holidays so please plan accordingly.

Also, the pastries were what I was mainly hoping for, but didn't see much, just cake and some packaged cookies. I ended up only ordering the only hot food available on the menu, the beef pho kolache, which was actually really really tasty. The $8 price point is a little hard to swallow, but worth trying at least once! Milk bread is soft and the brisket goes really great with sriracha. The hoisin was a tad too salty for me; I think it would work best if it had, in theme, the aromatics from actual pho, otherwise it's too heavy. The yuzu lemonade was citrusy and refreshing, definitely hits the spot during the summer. There's a bit of space in the back, and there's a patio area (though I'm not sure if it's 100% Koffeteria's, but it was set up for World Cup watching. I'll have to keep an eye on when's the best time to swing by again for their bakery items.

I was indecisive so I asked the owner for recommendations and she chose the Mont Blanc and Total Raspberry Tart. Both pastries were perfect- the tart has a raspberry cream on the bottom and the fruit was fresh and naturally sweet. Not to mention, the crust was absolutely delicious. The Mont Blanc was just as tasty. The chestnut puree, Chantilly cream, and crust were all *chef's kiss* And the best part of it all is that the pastries were not too sweet (for those of you who are new to Asian pastries, they are meant to be lighter and not overly sweet)! While my friend and I were enjoying the pastries, I was able to have a brief conversation with the owner and she was incredibly welcoming and kind. Overall, I was thrilled to be able to finally try Chez Kobayashi Pastries and I can't wait to come back and try their savory dishes! ごちそうさまでした‍

She told me to go to the bakers son and make sure I go early because they do sale out and people buy in bulk. I entered with intentions of only getting the ube bread but $40 and 5 items later I went slightly overboard. They have so many items and they all look delicious. The customer service was great and prices were really good. Now to the items, the ube bread is phenomenal, soft, sweet, flavorful 10/10. I also got a biscoff bread sandwich (I'm forget the name) which had the softest and most perfect bread I've ever indulged in. Now to what the employees recommended and the absolute star.

Since we were already in the area after breakfast at TJ's Filipino Cuisine, we finally got the chance to stop by and try their baked goods for ourselves. We arrived early, so the bakery wasn't too busy yet. The bakers were busy prepping more goodies in the back while my cousin and I browsed all the Filipino baked goods we really miss from back home in the Philippines. They even had suman, sapin-sapin, biko, and other kakanin, which was nice to see. I specifically looked for the chicken empanada, and my cousin wanted to try the ube white chocolate chip cookie. We also saw different kinds of siopao and planned to come back later to buy some before heading back to San Antonio. We tried the ube white chocolate chip cookie first, but honestly we weren't totally satisfied. It tasted more like a regular white chocolate chip cookie with purple coloring and didn't really have much ube flavor. I also tried the chicken empanada. My cousin didn't like it because it was sweeter than expected--we were both expecting it to be savory. There seemed to be caramelized sugar in the outside of the pastry, which probably added to the sweetness. I still like it, though it was definitely sweeter than what I'm used to. Red Ribbon's chicken empanada is still my favorite. Later that day before leaving Houston, we came back for the siopao we planned to take home. We finally decided to just buy a couple pieces for ourselves, heat them up in the bakery, and try them fresh. When we saw the price for a four-pack, we were honestly disappointed. It felt expensive for the size. The siopao wasn't huge, and while I like the dough, there wasn't much chicken filling inside. For the portion, taste, and quality, it felt overpriced. Overall, it's probably not worth making another trip back for us. We did enjoy the cassava ube suman, and I like the chicken empanada, but not enough to drive all the way to Houston just for those. If I live nearby, I might come back to try other baked goods, but based on this visit, I'm not sure the rest would impress my palate. I still give them credit for cleanliness and customer service, although we did notice fruit flies on one of the shelves and reported it. The staff was friendly, and the bakery itself was welcoming. At the end of the day, since they're a bakery, the expectation is great-tasting, quality, mouthwatering Filipino breads, pastries ", and kakanin. While some items were enjoyable, overall it just didn't quite live up to the hype for us.
